Requires Type II school district without board of school estimate holding its school election in November to receive voter approval of base budget.

This bill (S 1687) amends New Jersey's school funding statutes to clarify budget submission requirements for school districts. It mandates that districts holding school elections in November must submit their proposed budgets by March 20 (instead of March 4) and requires all districts to adopt budgets that provide "a thorough and efficient education" by that deadline. The bill does not address voter approval of budgets or change the requirement for districts to calculate a "required local share" based on state funding formulas. The title mentioning "voter approval" appears inconsistent with the actual text, which focuses on procedural deadlines and budget standards under existing funding law. The bill is currently in committee referral status.
